We have a right to privacy. Period. Justice Brandeis wrote that our founders conferred on us “the right be let alone – the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most value by civilized men.” Some say we must sacrifice that right for safety. I don’t buy it. Safety does not trump liberty. Cameras that track your vehicle's every movement are an affront to privacy. It’s government overreach by the very people who claim to believe in limited government. The Institute for Justice has identified more than 100 incidents of ALPR (Automated license plate readers) abuse, including romantic stalking, wrongful arrests, and wrongful stops. Flock has more than 5,000 contracts with law enforcement agencies across the United States. To track Americans. It’s time to stop it. No compromise. No balancing. We can never make the world 100% safe and we should not sacrifice our precious privacy in a futile attempt to do so. I fear Big Brother more than any criminal.
